How to Make The Affinities Cake

1.
Preheat the oven to 150 degree C.
2.
Oil a 20 cm cake tin, approx 10 cm deep. Line the bottom of the tin with some greaseproof paper.
3.
Do not use a spring fold tin with a loose bottom else your mixture will leak out.
4.
Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and then make 3 holes with a spoon.
5.
Put the vanilla, vinegar and oil into each hole and pour the prune juice on top. Mix well.
6.
The result is a gentle volcanic reaction with bubbles rising to the surface.
7.
Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes.
8.
Gently stick a skewer in the cake. It should come out clean and still be moist.
9.
Cool on a wire rack for couple of hours before serving
